    They Started With a Beauty Problem and $30K — Now It’s a Game-Changing App | MVP Ep 44

    In this inspiring episode of the MVP Podcast, I sit down with Kyana and Elysee, co-founders of Bella App—a social beauty platform connecting women to trusted salons through real friend recommendations. What started as a frustrating problem—finding a good beauty salon—turned into a full-blown startup idea validated through relentless hustle. From surveying 200+ women and cold emailing salons to getting rejected by an accelerator (then winning it), the Bella founders share how they built their MVP with no tech background, hired their first developer, and raised capital through a SAFE note—all while working full-time. Whether you're an aspiring founder, a woman in tech, or just curious how raw ideas turn into real businesses, this episode is for you. 🔑 Key Takeaways: How to validate a startup idea with zero budget What it’s like applying to accelerators (and what to do if you get rejected) The mindset needed to survive early-stage entrepreneurship How women can lead and build in male-dominated spaces #WomenInBusiness #FemaleFounders #StartupJourney #BeautyTech #EntrepreneurMindset #FounderStories #Startups2025 #TechForWomen #WomenEmpowerment #MVPpodcast #BusinessPodcast #StartUpLife #ProblemSolvers #SideHustleToStartup #BuildInPublic
